Green Campus Tour: Electric Avenue

In 2011, seven electric vehicle (EV) charging stations—including one of the first 30-minute charging stations in the country—along with several outlets for electric bikes were installed at PSU in partnership with Portland General Electric (PGE) and the City of Portland. Visitors pay for parking at Electric Avenue, but the electricity is free. Oregon has been chosen as a test market for EVs, and drivers in Portland will help inform EV charging technologies around the country.
